As we bid farewell to Belle Chase Way, we want to take a moment to reflect on the 10 great years we've had here and how we look forward to creating even more memories. Our current space saw many of you join us for sessions, committee and workgroup meetings or just stopping in to say hello and visit with MLA staff past and present. So much learning, tons of new ideas birthed and implemented, hundreds of candid conversations held, even more hard decisions crafted, and most important…so many friendships made. 

As we prepare to close and lock the physical doors, we have already found our stride in reaching you, our members, who serve in every corner of the state, through the virtual platforms we instituted during the pandemic. We will no longer be tied to a physical location and will be able to visit with you in your spaces on a more consistent basis. Our members have been instrumental in our success, and I'm confident that this move to fully remote will only enhance our collective achievements.

Here's to the next exciting chapter in our journey together!
